With enhanced flexibility, the system can adapt to numerous inspection duties, making it a useful instrument in every a part of the CNC cycle, enhancing accuracy and productiveness ranges.
Three-port SSR stylus storage racks are perfect for altering the stylus itself, robotically. This consists of these for analogue scanning, with a choice of stylus configurations and ball tip supplies. Lastly, there’s a 3-port MSR module storage rack that holds and exchanges tactile scanning probe modules.
